The former Calder Trophy winner will be available to play in Thursday's game
at Detroit.

Skinner missed the last 11 games with an upper-body injury suffered on Oct. 24
at Minnesota. The 21-year-old was averaging nearly a point-per-game prior to
the injury, posting three goals and six assists in 10 contests.

The Hurricanes also placed forward Alexander Semin on injured reserve. He is
out indefinitely with a concussion.
